Advisement and Registration

If you have already registered and paid for your courses for fall 2007, you can skip this section. If you have not registered or if your courses were removed because you had not affirmed enrollment by the deadline, then one of the following registration schedules applies to you.
Please read it carefully.

Students Not Registered for Fall 2007 Classes


Returning Students Needing Registration Changes


Other Registration-related Procedures for New and Returning Students


New Freshmen — Not Registered

This schedule is only for new freshmen who have not received a class schedule for fall 2007.

Fri., Aug. 24 11 am Advisement and Registration (course selection). Report to Edwards Hall, Blue Room (100)
1 – 4 pm Late-arriving freshmen report to Edwards Hall, Blue Room (100)

General Advisement Sessions in the Gold Room in Edwards Hall are scheduled alphabetically as follows:

Fri., Aug. 24 11 am Last names A – N

IMPORTANT: Prior to attending a General Advisement Session, you MUST FIRST pick up a copy of your transfer credits and degree audit report in Edwards Hall, Blue Room (100). Have these materials with you at the General Advisement Session. General Advisement will prepare you to meet with a departmental advisor by providing an explanation of our transfer policy and degree requirements, with a special emphasis on the new degree audit.

INDIVIDUAL FACULTY ADVISEMENT will take place in Edwards Hall immediately following the mandatory General Advisement Sessions.


Visiting Students

If you are a visiting student, go to Edwards Hall, Blue Room (100) for registration Fri., Aug. 24, noon – 4 pm. Advisement is not required since you are not seeking a degree at SUNY Brockport.


Returning Students — Not Registered

This schedule applies to returning students who have not registered as well as those returning from approved leave of absence who have not registered. Options for registration include:

In Person — If you live or are visiting in the area, you may register in person through Aug. 23, 8 am – 4 pm weekdays. For undergraduates, this procedure requires consultation with your faculty advisor or department advisor to receive a signed Advisement Form. We recommend that you call ahead to your advisor for an appointment.

Online Registration — Undergraduates should contact their advisor for consultation and assignment of an advisement key number. Graduate students seeking to enroll in closed courses or courses requiring departmental approval will also need a permission key number. Then, follow the online registration instructions.

Open Registration — Department advisors will be available Fri., Aug. 24, 2:30 – 4 pm in Edwards Hall.

Late Registration — The Add Period is Mon., Aug. 27 – Tues., Sept. 4. Obtain the Late Registration Form either in the Office of Registration and Records or online. (The form is available online from Aug. 27 – Sept. 14 at the Office of Registration and Records Web site on the “Forms” page.) Obtain authorization signature(s) from your advisor and all course instructors. Then, return the form to the Office of Registration and Records. Late registration fees will be charged.


Adding and Dropping Courses Through the Online Registration System

Students may use the Online Registration System to add or drop courses from their schedules. Prior to Aug. 27, (except Aug. 24) students can drop any courses and add any open sections of courses following the instructions printed in the Schedule of Classes. Once classes begin, students will need signatures or Permission Key Numbers from course instructors to add any course even if it still shows open seats.

The Online Registration System requires special procedures to add a course when permission is necessary or once classes begin. More information on Permission Key Numbers.

  • A set of Permission Key Numbers has been generated for each course in the Schedule of Classes.
  • When an instructor wishes to give a student permission to enroll in a course which is full or requires permission, the instructor will provide that student with one of the Permission Key Numbers from the course list.
  • This six-digit number can be used only once. Once a number has been used in the registration process, it cannot be used by another student.
  • When the student enters a valid permission number that has not already been used, they will receive a message stating they are authorized to register for the course. The student must then proceed to the Registration/Add/Drop/Classes page to register for the specific course.

The Online Registration System can be used to add classes until Fri., Sept. 14 at 5 pm, and it can be used to drop classes until Tues., Sept. 25 at 5 pm.

In-person adds will be processed through Fri., Sept. 14 at 5 pm. Drops may be processed in-person as follows:

  • First-quarter courses by Tues., Sept. 11 at 5 pm
  • Full semester courses by Tues., Sept. 25 at 5pm
  • Second-quarter courses by Tues., Nov. 6 at 5 pm

Check the Schedule of Classes or the Office of Registration and Records for complete instructions.

Return completed forms to the Office of Registration and Records and Affirm Enrollment within 48 hours by accessing Online Services on the SUNY Brockport Web page. Instructions may also be found in the Schedule of Classes.


Adding and Dropping Courses

Registered students who wish to adjust their schedules may add and drop online beginning Mon., Aug. 27, at 8 am. All "adds" must be approved (signature or permission key number) by the course instructor or departmental representative and either processed online or submitted to the Office of Registration and Records by 5 pm, Tues., Sept. 4 to avoid a late add fee. Most "drops" no longer require the instructor's approval. Drops for courses meeting for the full semester must be either processed online or submitted in writing to the Office of Registration and Records by 5 pm, Tues., Sept. 25.

  • First-quarter course drop deadline - 5 pm, Tues., Sept. 11
  • Second-quarter course drop deadline - 5 pm, Tues., Nov. 6
  • Adding courses online ends Fri., Sept. 14.
  • Dropping courses online ends Tues., Sept. 25.

Note for freshmen: Once classes begin, freshmen must have written approval from their advisor/APS instructor to add or drop courses. This is because of the placement and block scheduling that is done for freshmen


Withdrawing from SUNY Brockport

Non-matriculated students: Prior to the semester and during the first four weeks of classes you may drop courses on Banner. Beginning the fifth week, visit the Office of Registration and Records to obtain the Course Withdrawal Form or download a copy and return it to the office.

Matriculated undergraduates: Mail or fax a letter requesting a Leave or Inactive Status (use Banner ID or Social Security number). Complete the online form or get a copy of the form at the Office of Academic Advisement or Registration and Records.

Refunds and financial aid eligibility (if any) are calculated based on the date of the withdrawal or drop, as confirmed by the Web Banner transaction form, Web form or postmark dated letter, not on class attendance or non-attendance. Students who do not attend classes and accept financial aid may have that aid revoked, and be required to pay the College bill and repay aid received. Further information is available here.


Leaving Brockport and Returning to Brockport

An undergraduate student who earns no credits for three consecutive semesters and is not enrolled in the subsequent (fourth) semester will be classified as Inactive. The student will need to apply for readmission to return to the College.
